Americans having to bootleg broadcast news about our government’s offshored concentration camp is a level of fascism that immediately precedes democratic societies dropping leaflets on us from weather balloons.

this movie healed me in ways I didn't know I needed. Happy Rexmas!

My response to anything over the next two weeks

The purses will get weirder until morale improves

This entire weekend

Rob Reiner was one of the key people behind the effort to go to court to overturn California's anti-marriage equality Proposition 8 when it passed in 2008. Working with Chad Griffin, they founded the American Foundation for Equal Rights and got Ted Olson and David Boies to team up to fight Prop 8.

With this piece of bread on the ground in Ottawa, Canada and the one below in Perth, Australia, @drstip.bsky.social and I have successfully created an Earth sandwich. The hot dog vs sandwich debate is concluded. If the Earth is sandwiched, everything is a sandwich. HAPPY EARTH SANDWICH DAY!

Just a reminder that Shaw Bros. is sharing a lot of movies in excellent transfers that have been hard to find in the US and Canada. They're all free and you can find them here: www.youtube.com/@ShawBrosCin... #cinejanes

I am brimming with holiday spirit

NEW — I put together a list of independent journalism subscriptions that would make great holiday gifts. From music to politics, astronomy to alcohol, tech to social justice, there’s something for [almost] everyone. Support indie media *and* surprise and delight your loved ones! My guide:

#FFXIV FanFest is neither a safe nor accessible convention. -People asking for disability accessibility need to have a phone call to prove their needs -they then must agree to specific accessibility accommodations within 24 hours of a follow up email or schedule another full phone call. 1/6

This is very cool. Often food pantries need to spend their money making sure everyone has the basics to keep them fed and healthy, but not on the spices and flavors that make an enjoyable meal. www.burlapandbarrel.com/products/don...

Anyway please enjoy this pumpkin I saw yesterday

Boy I hate all this

I know we're all watching election returns but don't let this get lost in the mix: the Heritage Foundation is calling on the HHS to conduct a 'safety' review of oral contraception jessica.substack.com/p/the-group-...

Hi if you’re working for justice and striving for a better world you can do one small but hugely impactful thing: WEAR A MASK WHEN YOU GO TO VOTE You will protect yourself and you will also protect all the vulnerable people around you who are literally risking their lives to make their voices count

Feeding America has a page where you can input your zip code and it'll show you all of the food banks near you overlaid on a map. If you need it, it's there. If you don't need it, think about donating money if you have it and your time if you don't. www.feedingamerica.org/find-your-lo...

you have been visited by Baby Bison and will now enjoy 48 hours of elevated serotonin

been thinking about this a lot and want to (again) plug Astoria Food Pantry which will need extra funding to help our neighbors if/when SNAP benefits are cut off. we've already been running out of food faster than usual this month—any donation amount will help! givebutter.com/afp2025

Remember folks. The original bluesky ethos by us bluesky elders (apparently I count?) is block and move on. Don't quote dunk, don't pick fights. Block, and move on. This is what made this site unpalatable to the right early on, and we can continue to make it unpalatable to them.

The deployment of tear gas throughout the Chicago area is a growing health concern. ICE is deploying tear gas in residential neighborhoods, near children, playgrounds, stores, etc. What are the health implications on our communities?

I have a full day today, but I woke up early to put this edition of my newsletter together because I need you all to have this rundown of what we've been up against this week in Chicago as the federal assault on our city continues. To ignore these developments would be a damning mistake for us all.

We need a bigger national spotlight on this building raid, fam. Agents dropped from helicopters onto the roof. Citizens and non-citizens alike were dragged from their homes in the night. People who weren't kidnapped during the raid had their belongings seized after the fact. This is madness.

let the gourd times roll

I have approximately zero following on this app, sharing in the hopes it can get in front of the right person. A man I went to college with’s wife was kidnapped by ICE at a green card hearing, and he’s trying to find a reporter who will speak to him about the situation

Incredible talk here at the #UNGA80 #indoorair call to action from our very own Violet Affleck! Reminding us that #longcovid affects all of us, the #covid19 pandemic is ongoing and we have failed to protect our children. Thank you, Violet, for speaking the truth to this room 🙏🏻

“it is neglect of the highest order to look children in the eyes and say we knew how to protect you and we just didn’t do it.”

NEW: I've updated my story to include details on the anatomy of the campaign against Kimmel (yes, Fox News and Benny Johnson were involved) and the parallels to the time ABC canceled another late-night host after the right got mad. Up now at @vulture.com www.vulture.com/article/abc-...

Becoming increasingly clear we’re gonna have to build a parallel infrastructure for all the media we really love. The reason all of this is happening under the color of law is hyperconsolidation, dissent being traded straight up for merger approval, or fear of harassment.

Update on this post from last night. 8 were shot in the encampment attack here in Minneapolis last night. This encampment has been the center of a battle between the owner of the space and the city over the last few months here as he has allowed homeless folks to live without being bothered.

There are no quiet parts. Everything is out loud now.

everyone please join me in a very hearty WHAT THE FUCK

What an unbelievably tepid and tortured way to describe THE THING THAT IS FUCKING HAPPENING

Controversial opinion, but I think trans people should feel safe here on bluesky, and nazis shouldn't.

The BBC news headlines tonight led with the state of the king’s relationship with his son, followed by news of riots on the streets of Paris motivated by rising inequality and the failings of the political class. It’s possible that the eighteenth century is back.

Just take five minutes out of your day to go ahead and do this. I even recommend adding it to your calendar now, so you don’t forget (what I am doing right now)

Folks seeing @prisonculture.bsky.social's posts about the Craft Fair Fundraiser for Gaza who weren't able to go/aren't in NYC but would like to contribute to the cause? Here you go! ⬇️

Maru made it to 18 years. RIP

The lack of mainstream coverage of regular huge protests reminds me of a talk from a Twitter employees who explained that they had to drop BLM off the Trending Tags section because otherwise it would have been there permanently. The modern media environment has no appetite for sustained movements.
